atomic64_add_unless(x, y, z) adds y to x if x was not already z.
Which means that when for example num=2, occ=2, max=3:
atomic64_add_unless(&data->nexthops.num, occ, data->nexthops.max) won't fail
when it should.
This situation is realistic and actually with atomic64_add_unless()
selftests/drivers/net/netdevsim/nexthop.sh fails.
